Chapter 8 Blog--Remake 1

An example of a remake of a movie is the movie called Sabrina, which kept the same title with the remake. The original movie was released in 1954 and starred Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. The movie is about a young woman whose father is a chauffeur for a wealthy family. She and her father live above the garage on the estate. Her father sends her away to Paris to school and when she returns she is grown up and more sophisticated. She is still in love with the younger of two brothers of the family her father works for. In the end she ends up with the older brother who falls in love with her while trying to keep his younger brother away from her because she is poor and not from a “good” family.
The 1995 remake stars Harrison Ford and Julia Ormand. The movie is the same except for different actors and different time period. I thought the remake was terrible. You can hardly compare Julia Ormand with Audrey Hepburn even though Harrison Ford did play a good Linus (the older brother).
